Troy Davis update

Two developments in the Troy Davis case:

• The U.S. Supreme Court didn't announce anything today, meaning that they won't announce till the fall whether they're doing something with the case. They once previously held the execution but then decided not to take it up; this is a seperate appeal from that one.
• In an impressive bit of reporting, the AP's Russ Bynum and Greg Bluestein tracked down many of the jurors from the original trial to ask them what they think now. It doesn't add all that much new, as some of these folks had already spoken with Davis' attorneys a couple years ago (and in some cases expressed doubts about his guilt). It doesn't change anything factually, but it could change something in the court of the public opinion -- that some of these jurors now say they don't feel sure, or don't think he should be put to death.
